FINNING will provide insights into how technology can improve the productivity and efficiency of machines at this year’s Black Isle Show.
The Cat dealer returns to the show in Muir of Ord to demonstrate a range of new equipment and show how to use in-built technology features to maximise efficiency.
Visitors can also discover more about how rebuilding and repowering machinery can lead to cost savings and support sustainability. To demonstrate how effectively this option works, the Finning team will have a machine on display that has recently been re-powered for Tillicoultry Quarries – including a look at before and after.
New kit on display will include a 972 medium wheel loader, 305 excavator, CB1.7 compactor, 308 mini-excavator, 313 hydraulic excavator, 320 medium excavator and a 302.7 mini-excavator.
The team will also explain how software solutions can help operators and owners to get the most out of the machines through features such as auto-idle shutdown, payload technology and auto-set tyres, while remote monitoring software can further support operational efficiency and site safety.
Attendees can also learn more about the rental options available from Finning to provide back-up power, or an off-grid solution, with the team bringing an XQP310 and a DE33EO gen-set to the show.
John Stuart, major accounts manager for Finning, said, “The Black Isle Show is a fantastic opportunity to see the diverse demands for machinery and equipment across Scotland – and to discuss how we can support the needs of operators across the area. The nature of the landscape means that providing responsive servicing and repairs is a priority and this is a good opportunity to show how Finning can support that through our network of highly qualified field service engineers – and the use of remote diagnostics, which has driven up the first-time fix rate.
“This event also helps to give the team at Finning a direct insight into what the local community is looking for from its machinery and how we can help to meet that.”
The Black Isle Show takes place at Mannsfield Showground on Thursday August 1.
